Add Char. Sheet Roll Buttons to Macro Bar/Token Actions

Hi, just wanted to share this with the forums, I haven't seen this when doing a search for Roll20 Macros.

I've found a way to take the built in Roll20 "character sheet roll buttons" and add them to your Macro Bar and Token Actions. I've done this specifically with Savage Worlds, but I suspect it should work with others.

Here's the steps:

Open up your Character Sheet, and right click the "Roll Button" you want to duplicate. Then click on "Inspect Element".


Another window should open up, or be on the bottom of your browser. Right click the highlighted section, and click "Edit As HTML".


Select and copy (Ctrl+C) the part after "value=" and in between the quotation marks, as shown below.


Go back to your character sheet, and [1] click on the "Attributes & Abilities" tab, [2] click on the "Add+" button under "Abilities", and [3] type in the appropriate name, and Paste (Ctrl+V) into the larger box.


Once that's done, click the little check mark to finish, or test out the roll by clicking the small die. Now you can add the roll to your Macro Bar or Token Actions.


Finally, I've compiled all of the Character Sheet rolls for Savage Worlds, and fit them into a spreadsheet on Google Drive. Just to save any Savage World users some time. You can check it out here. Feel free to do this with any other character sheets, if it works for you. :)

You can also just grab the name of the button (in your screenshot, "Agility") and use %{character name|Agility} in the macro (replacing "character name" as appropriate). Several sheets will list these names in the sheet description, or will show the name when you hover over the button. Or the name might be obvious.

Ah, forgot about that. I think if you put this in your Macro Bar, through the settings tab of your sidebar; maybe it would work for whatever token you select. I think I had some reason for not doing it by referencing it like you said.

EDIT: Nope, it doesn't work from the settings tab. So, I guess that was pointless.
